The package + communicates with the Archie server via the Prospero + protocol, which is layered on the Asynchronous Reliable + Delivery Protocol, which is layered on UDP. + + The usual entry point is Archie::archie_request, which + takes arguments similar to the Unix archie command-line + client, and returns an array of hash references which + point to the returned data. + + The routine Archie::archie_cancel cancels the request on + the server; this stops the server from sending packets to + a canceled client process. + + This release is $Revision: 1.5 $. |
